Hi,

I'm looking for a picture, which I saw also in this forum, but I don't know how to find it.

On the image there were the notes of many scale, in a simple way, just which notes are contained by the scale.
(A lot of scale were displayed, not just the "basic" ones.)

Moreover I'm searching for another thing, a description that described that which scales fit which chords, that was in simple txt format.

thanks in advance!

This is soo provocative. Can't...resist...replying... :wink:

The link nuffink gave is a classic. But what if I hacked it and put there "wrong" scales, how long would it take before anyone could tell? "This combination is musical, because I read it in the 'net" wouldn't probably get you very far. To think of it, maybe I should write my own scale/chord relationship chart, playing by ear. Would be educational.

Anyway, give the relationships a try. If you don't agree with them, don't use them, and maybe you can see later if your mind has changed. In the right contexts, many combinations that sound strange on their own can start to make sense.

PS. Free jazz guys think that any note can work on any chord.

Go on then.

p.s. Free jazzers are up-tight wankers. If you're not mashing away with your forearms while primal screaming you're not feeling it man.

Who's uptight now? :wink:

Not me. I really enjoyed your novel take on the "just do it" school of thought. It's always refreshing no matter how many times you hear it (or don't in the case of us who need the crutch of theory). :wink:

Yeah, I completely understand and agree on these!
But an important thing is that I have heavy defects in harmony theory...
Other thing is that I _can hear_ if something doesn't sound musical, but I want to know WHY it doesn't sound well.

So first I have to know and read after the "standards". After that I want to feel the "laws of harmony" which can't be exactly described in any formal way.
But these info is a good quickstart.

Thanks again for the links and opinions!
